Christmas is coming early on Saturday Night Live because Ariana Grande is hosting the final 2025 episode with CHER as the musical guest on December 20th. This has been the best combo since. I don’t know since! Kudos for making it happen. I just hope it doesn’t disappoint. Plus, you know they will do at least one skit together, and maybe another where Ariana does an impression of Cher. Maybe they can do a Freaky Friday thingy!
In other SNL news, Melissa McCarthy hosts as Dijon sings on December 6th. The following week, Josh O’Connor and Lily Allen do the same.
Fun fact: This is only the second time Cher has been a musical guest on SNL. The last time she belted out her songs on the variety show was 1987. And she hasn’t aged in nearly 40 years.
Oh, and not-so-fun fact for Cher: Grande wasn’t even alive in ’87; she made her debut in 1993. How Wicked is that?
Cher was born as Cheryl Sarkisian, but we only know her as Cher. So, have you ever wondered what name she has on her driver’s license, even though she hasn’t driven in a long time?
That was something that Jimmy Kimmel pondered, so he asked the legendary on his show yesterday if her last name is on her DL. She told him, “I don’t have a last name.”
Cher then explained that it was not easy to get that done. She had to prove that people would only know her as Cher. I agreed with Kimmel on this one; you would think all she would have to do is walk in, and they would be like Cher. But it was not that easy.
Then I agreed with her when Kimmel kept asking her random questions, and she told him, “This is stupid!” Gd, I love her!
Back to her being able to only go by one name, who else do you think who could do that? I say Madonna, Prince, Beyoncé, Bono, Adele and Zendaya.
Cher has been through a lot in her career, and yesterday, on The Tonight Show, she did something she probably never expected to do.
What was it? The singer and Jimmy Fallon clucked their way through three of her biggest hits, all while dressed as turkeys.
I believe that if Cher could turn back time, she would do it all over again because she looked like she was having so much fun even, if it looked stupid as all hell.
Cher has dated many men, including Tom Cruise, Gene Simmons, and Richie Sambora. But there was one actor who got away?
Yesterday, the legendary Diva was on Howard Stern’s radio show, and he asked her if men expect fabulous sex with her. Without skipping a beat, she told him, “They get it.”
She knows that “Because you can tell by the reaction.”
So, the Shock Jock wanted to know why would anyone leave her if they are getting that.
She didn’t say why, but then she shared a secret with him, “I was madly in love with Val Kilmer, and he left.” She thinks it was because he was really young at the time.
So, Val, if you are seeing this, go get her! I would love to see you rekindle your relationship. Prove her song If I Could Turn Back Time wrong!!!
The other night, Cher performed at AMFAR in Cannes. The singer wore a black lacy mesh outfit, which is very close to what she wore in 1989 when she belted out If I Could Turn Back Time in the music video. And that is exactly what the 78-year-old did!
